Same problem here.

How to trigger the bug:
 1) Log into a XFCE4 session on the console
 2) start a VNC desktop with 'startxcfe4' in your ~/.vnc/xstartup
 3) log into the VNC session and admire the blank screen

There's 1 very crude workaround I know of and that's starting the VNC session
before starting a XFCE4 session on the console.

I found this while googling around for a solution:

    Added check to see if another session is already running.

Dog only knows why Benny thought it was a good idea to allow only 1 XFCE4
session running. But for some reason or another an XFCE4  session running
inside VNC is not detected.


Can someone PLEASE have a look at this, or point me to a practical workaround.
Fooling around with xfwm4 and xfce4-panel in my .vnc/xstartup file didn't work.
xfce4-panel also complains about 'There is already a running instance'.

For me this is a real showstopper for rolling out XFCE4 as the default desktop
in our department.
